Ego 7 black contact boots

I like the close contact feel against the horse. Excellent customer service to but them and get the right size. Fit like a glove. No hassle with zippers coming down. I have a slim calf and find takes a lot of time to put these boots on and off. I found the sole is very stiff and slips across the very pointy/grippy wide base stirrups I have. I really want to like them. After 4 rides I’m not yet sold, and they are expensive.

I really want to like these. But find they offer very little support in the irons. The toe/foot is narrow. The hot melt is not super gripping and seems almost slick at times. The fabric is easy to keep clean and if perfected I love the concept. I would not order another pair due to the lack of support in the ankle.

Normally I have problems with fitting leather riding boots over my muscular calves but not with these. In fact, the regular seems almost too big and wrinkles at my ankles and need to be pulled up. Otherwise, they are very comfortable and required no break in time.
